Overview:
“Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
-Leonardo da Vinci
Specialization is cherished in the career market. Individuals are given the impression that they have to demonstrate expertise in a specific field of study or skill for them to be recognized as qualified candidates for a prestigious company. However, why do we have to ‘specialize’ in just one when we are all born with multifarious potential? Shouldn’t we rather value versatility?
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt
